Default going to the track

well last time at the track i had 3.55 gears and a slipping clutch and i turned a 12.6 first time at the track with this car. now i have my clutch fixed and fully built rear with 4.10s. im hoping to get 12.1-12.3 constant.

and in 2 weeks im going again with longtubes and udp on and see what i can turn then. im dying to get into the 11s.

will post pictures and videos later. temp is going to be about 70 and sunny


also im running so sway bar this time to see how i like it. also my back seat and spare are out.

i have many friends running udp on machs, 01 cobras and none of them have problems. they all have put 5k-10k miles on since they ahd them on and still perfectly fine.

but a 12.3-12.5 is still not good enough for me. i wont be happy till im into the 11s. then next year i prob wont be happy till i get into the 10s. but there is alot of money and room to grow. but i just need the money part.
